It was pop-star Michael Jackson's 10th death anniversary on June 25, 2019. A tad late but on Friday, Bollywood's popular fashion designer Manish Malhotra recalled late pop icon Michael Jackson and shared an anecdote of his catch-up with the king of pop. Years before Manish launched his designer label, he had the honour of designing an outfit for Jackson. Manish Malhotra had gifted one of his own creations to the pop star which the latter wore to an awards show, the designer recalled.

Take a look at the post:
